- Le’Veon Bell accused Paul of faking the call and “ducking” the fight, continued taunting him online, and said he is “pulling up” to WWE to confront him.
- No bout is scheduled and no finalized contracts have been announced, with Paul reaffirming his focus on Monday Night Raw and WrestleMania preparations.
- Rob Gronkowski challenged Paul to a fight on the field during the March 21 Fanatics Flag Football Classic in Los Angeles, adding fresh star power to the dispute.
